The next day, Debola told Rongguang that it would take at least one month to move, so Rongguang could only practice free kicks at the team's Carrington training base. He used all the time outside of formal training to practice free kicks.

Soon the whole team knew that Rongguang was practicing free kicks.

Mark Hughes also got it.

"This is a good thing," Mark Hughes said to his assistant coach Bowen. "It seems that Rong also knows that there are too many fouls against him now. If he can score a free kick, then the foul tactics will be no threat. The stronger Rong himself becomes, the stronger our tactics will be..."

He still wants to rely on glory.

After defeating Liverpool at home, Manchester City seems to have really drawn energy from this victory.

Manchester City won the next two league games. In the eighth round of the league, they defeated Newcastle 2l away and scored a goal.

In the ninth round of the league, they defeated Stoke City at home. Although Rong Guang did not score, he indirectly assisted two goals.

Mark Hughes' tactic of relying on glory seems to be fine, and glory is indeed worthy of being relied upon by him.

After nine rounds of league matches, Manchester City has made it from the previous 10th place in the league, and is only two steps away from the fifth in the European competition - Aston Villa, ranked sixth, has 17 points, Manchester United, ranked fifth, ranked eighteen points, and Manchester City, ranked sixth, has 16 points, is really two steps away, only two points difference.

It seems that everything is getting better.

Perhaps that victory against Liverpool will be a turning point in Manchester City's performance this season.

After the game against Stoke City, Mark Hughes faced reporters that Manchester City already knew the right pace.

"...We made some mistakes at the beginning of the season, but now it's fine. We took some time to find the right path. Berbatov and Robinho are integrating into the team, the three-game winning streak is just the beginning, and our goal has never changed - that is to enter the European arena next season."

With three consecutive victories, the rankings rose, and the tacit understanding between Berbatov and Robinho and the team deepened... These good things made Mark Hughes look in a good mood and proud.

Now there is no longer any criticism against him in the media. When he looks at the reporters below, he feels full of superiority.

These people made me embarrassed at the beginning, but now?

Mark Hughes has begun to look forward to the scene when the season is over, and the entire English media apologize to him, just like the French media who once scolded him collectively publicly apologized to him after Jacques led the French national team to the World Cup championship.

That is really the pinnacle of life...

The three-game winning streak has put a lot less pressure on the team, and the smiles on the players' faces have also increased, and everyone is in a relaxed mood.

At this time, Rongguang’s new home has been renovated in advance and can be moved in.

So after moving, Rongguang invited the whole team to his garden to hold a picnic. The winning streak made everyone feel very good. The atmosphere of this picnic was very warm. Everyone brought their wives and children. Those who were not married also brought their girlfriends to Rongguang's new home to congratulate him on his housewarming.

Sun Hai complained that Rongguang moved a little lonely, while Rongguang told him with a smile that his family was welcome to visit him at any time.

There are also special reports on Rongguang moving and treating guests.

Judging from media reports, the atmosphere in Manchester City is very good.

"I believe that such a happy and united scene also makes Manchester City fans very relieved - Manchester City's future will definitely be better," said the local media.

Although Mark Hughes did not attend this picnic party of Rongguang, he also congratulated Rongguang on moving his new home: "I know that moving is a very important event in China. I didn't go, but I gave me a gift..."

Mark Hughes said with a smile during an interview with a reporter.

Continuous victory and excellent team performance made him feel very good.

Everything seems to be getting better.

But in the tenth round of the league, Manchester City lost to Middlesbrough 02 away.

They did not continue their three consecutive victories, and the pace of victory came to an abrupt end.

However, at that time, everyone thought that it was just a normal ups and downs, and no team could keep winning, so it was normal to lose after three consecutive wins.

However, in the next 11th round, Manchester City lost to Bolton 02 away.

In both games, the same scores were lost to the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league. Manchester City's ranking has not changed, but the gap between them and the sixth place has been widened.

At the same time, the pursuers behind him also chased after him.

After three consecutive wins, a two-game losing streak came, and Mark Hughes couldn't laugh anymore.

The team's performance is really unstable...

Fortunately, the next game will be Manchester City's home game against Tottenham Hotspur, which is a turnaround for Mark Hughes.

After the 11th round of the league, Tottenham ranked last and only scored nine points.

Their strength was affected after selling Berbatov. They only won two games in the eleven league rounds, tied three games and lost six games.

The team's morale is low and it's away again.

Manchester City should be able to easily win opponents, win themselves a chance to breathe, and prevent the team from continuing to decline.

But the final result surprised everyone - Manchester City lost 2 to Tottenham Hotspur, who ranked last in the league, at home

Although Rongguang scored a goal in the game, he was powerless to do anything about the team's decline.

After three consecutive victories, three consecutive losses, and Manchester City's ranking also dropped from seventh to tenth.

Mark Hughes was once again besieged by reporters at the post-match press conference.

But this time, Mark Hughes no longer knew how to deal with it.

He really doesn't know what to say if he can lose in games like Tottenham Hotspur.

In the 13th round, Manchester City challenged Hul City away.

Manchester City, who lost three games in a row, were unwilling to continue losing. They led their opponents 2l in the first half, and it seemed that they had the hope of winning the game and putting the team back on the right track.

But the situation changed suddenly in the second half. Hul City's pressing in the frontcourt made Manchester City players very uncomfortable, and the team's rhythm was completely disrupted.

Finally, in the 78th minute, Hul City equalized the score.

twenty two

The score never changed until the end of the game.

Manchester City still didn't win, they got a draw...

Although the ranking is still tenth, this position is already in danger.

However, what is more precarious than Manchester City's ranking is Mark Hughes's coach position.

After three consecutive wins, everything looks pretty good, and Mark Hughes seems to be making a big move at Manchester City.

But now rumors in the media that he is going to be dismissed are once again rampant.

In the 14th round of the league, Manchester City welcomed another strong opponent at home - Arsenal.

Although Arsenal is currently ranked fourth in the league and still has some gap between Chelsea, which is the top two, and Liverpool, it is still a tough trick for Manchester City.

"Arsenal is a strong team. Now Mark Hughes should do the most is to go to church and pray to God, praying that Rong can play like Liverpool to save his coaching position. If Rong can continue to play a hat trick, maybe Manchester City still has hope..." Before the game, the Manchester Evening News mocked Mark Hughes' incompetence.

The performance of Glory in this game is indeed outstanding.

In the first half, he scored a goal to help Manchester City take the lead.

However, at the end of the first half, Arsenal used Van Persie's goal to equalize the score.

In the second half, Glory used a header to take the lead for Manchester City again.

Manchester City looks like there is hope for winning the game.

But at this moment, Rongguang fell to the ground in a fight, and then the team doctor who went up made a substitution gesture...

"The substitution team doctor asked for substitution Rong to see if he couldn't stand the game... For Mark Hughes, the Thunder strike team's tactics revolve around Rong. If Rong is gone, the tactics will collapse," Motson shouted.

No matter how reluctant Mark Hughes was, he could only replace glory.

The impact of Glory's injury was not only that it made Manchester City lack a core, but more importantly, it shook Manchester City's morale - Glory has always been the pillar of Manchester City, and his performance on the court made the players spontaneously trust him and rely on him.

But now he's gone... Many Manchester City players are immediately confused - what should we do?

Although he was ahead of the score, Manchester City players suddenly didn't know how to play football.

And the injury of Rongguang has greatly boosted Arsenal's morale - the most threatening monster is gone, what else can we be afraid of?

In this way, the situation of the game changed dramatically after the glory came to an end.

Arsenal is getting more and more excited, and the more they play, while Manchester City is getting less and less confident and has no condition.

In the end, they led by 2l and allowed Arsenal to chase three goals in the second half. At home, they lost by 24.

"The five consecutive rounds of defeat to Manchester City have fallen to the bottom," Motson said at the end of the game.

"It's not surprising at all." Alan Hansen complained coldly.

"The next round of the league is the Manchester derby. Rong's injury is unknown. I think Mark Hughes must be anxious now like an ant on a hot pan... For Ferguson, Rong's injury is good news. If Rong can't play, he will not have to worry about how to defend this "monster who is stronger,"...

"If I lose the game against Manchester United, I think Mark Hughes's life at Manchester City is almost over. For Mark Hughes, it is undoubtedly a relief..." Alan Hansen said.
